Given the difficult economic times we’re facing in the near future, I’ve got to say I was glad to learn that Cecil Bothwell is running for Asheville City Council. He’s the kind of practical problem-solver we need right now in our city government.
I’ve known Cecil for several years, having met him through my work with the WNC Peace Coalition. Whenever he said he would do something, I knew I could consider it done. Better still, he was always patient working with people who might disagree.
The City Council election is a long way off, but I know how expensive local campaigns have become. That’s why I’m urging my friends to support Cecil now. Google “the commonsense candidate” if you want to find his campaign blog.
